Dwarven power metal warriors Wind Rose recently announced their new album, “Trollslayer,” set for release on October 4, 2024, via Napalm Records. Pre-order it HERE.
After the catchy Deep Rock Galactic Hymn “Rock And Stone”, Wind Rose shows another musical facet on the new single. The epic song takes the listener into the depths of dwarven forges and tells of life under the mountain. The accompanying official music video delves deep into the adventures of the dwarves – including terrifying dragons, huge treasures, and mighty mines.
Wind Rose will join heavy metal legends Powerwolf and HammerFall this fall, for the eagerly awaited Wolfsnächte 2024 tour.
The band says about “To Be a Dwarf”: “We chose ‘To Be a Dwarf’ as the second single off of ‘Trollslayer’ because we wanted to take you deep into the incredible world of the dwarves once and for all. This song is an anthem that makes you feel like you belong to this great folk of fierce warriors, skilled blacksmiths, and heavy drinkers. The song also comes with one of the best video clips we have ever made, and it will let you dig through your imagination and see with your own eyes what it is like to be a dwarf.”
“Trollslayer” follows the success of “Warfront” (2022), which debuted in the Top 10 on the US Current Hard Music Albums chart. Arriving right before their biggest European tour ever alongside Powerwolf and HammerFall, this album promises to be the perfect blend of signature party anthems alongside select deeper, more serious tracks. Exploding onto the scene with viral appearances on TikTok and amassing almost half a million followers on the platform, as well as almost a million monthly listeners, Wind Rose has solidified their reputation as a powerhouse in the modern power metal scene.
Wind Rose on the new album “Trollslayer”: “We spent more than 2 years working on ‘Trollslayer,’ a new Dwarf Metal opera that will entertain you with fast riffs, beer, and fun. With ‘Trollslayer’ we didn’t only keep all the key elements of Dwarf metal, we also brought back the fast-paced rhythms typical of our previous albums. Both ‘Wintersaga’ and ‘Warfront’ have had a great impact on our fans, even if they have many differences in style. With ‘Trollslayer’ we unified all the best features of both albums and we are delivering what we believe is the best Dwarf Metal experience so far. We can’t wait to play some of these new songs live for you, are you ready?!”
